Developed by Bethesda Game Studios, Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world epic fantasy, and brings to life a completely explorable virtual world. In this world, the player takes on the role of legendary ‘Dragonborn’, who possess the ability of speaking in the language of dragons, and the mission to fight against those who would return to the world of Skyrim.

The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons

“You can’t speak in absolutes, or detail the experience provided by The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It would be like commenting a book not yet written, but that would be narrated in diferentials of actions, dialogues, bows, swords, spells and blood. I mean, the game gives you the pinnacle of “Open World”, which who put themselves in can do whatever they want, be whoever they want – from Paladin hero to Master Thief (jail-time included); from young acolyte to a historian versed in the secrets of werewolves – and it’s worth telling that there’s a slaughterous charm to the lycanthropes. This way, each narrative created in Skyrim is singular, special, for it was forged by an exact symbiosis between player and game.”
